Can I use my ex-contract sky digital satellite receiver to get Freeview channels?

Brian Butterworth published on UK Free TV2nd October 2014 at 14:25 You can get the following Freeview channels on with an ex-contract digital satellite receiver (once it is connected). Items marked with a star require either a Freesat from Sky (fSfS) card, or a expired Sky subscription card to view.

Lesley Allen : If your viewing (in one single room) comprises entirely of programmes via Freeview (terrestrial) and also via your Sky+ HD box, then the only cables required to be connected into your TV are (1): The coax connector lead from your normal aerial for Freeview reception, (2): The HDMI connector cable from the Sky box.

Obviously the Sky+ box will have two coax leads from the dish and also the HDMI lead connected into the TV.

Lisa Ritchie: Yes, just leave everything connected and you will still be able to watch all the free to air channels when your Skysubscription ends. If you leave the viewing card in you will also get a few extra free channels as well as the correct BBC and ITV regions at the top of the EPG. You won't be able to record or access any previous recordings on your Sky box however as this requires an active Sky subscription.
